external-sourcery-toolchain: remove
As per discussion on the mailing list [1], remove this largely unmaintained external toolchain support in favour of the maintained version in meta-sourcery [2]. Also correct the example and documentation.conf entries for TCMODE to match up with this change.

# TCMODE controls the characteristics of the generated packages/images by
# telling poky which toolchain 'profile' to use.
#
-# The default is "default"
-# Use "external-MODE" to use the precompiled external toolchains where MODE
-# is the type of external toolchain to use e.g. eabi. You need to ensure
-# the toolchain you want to use is included in an appropriate layer
-# TCMODE ?= "external-eabi"
+# The default is "default" which uses the internal toolchain. With
+# additional layers, it is possible to set this to use a precompiled
+# external toolchain. One example is the Sourcery G++ Toolchain, support
+# for which is now in the separate meta-sourcery layer:
+#
+# http://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/
+#
+# meta-sourcery can be used as a template for adding support for other
+# external toolchains. See the link above for further details.
+#
+# TCMODE points the system to a file in conf/distro/include/tcmode-${TCMODE}.inc,
+# so for meta-sourcery which has conf/distro/include/tcmode-external-sourcery.inc
+# you would set it as follows:
+#
+# TCMODE ?= "external-sourcery"
# mklibs library size optimization is more useful to smaller images,
# and less useful for bigger images. Also mklibs library optimization
